Rated 4 out of 5 by Micah Nice, but...
This runs big. Not sure what has happened with MH sizing, but this in XL, should not be so big on me. (I'm 6'2, 220, with wide shoulders. In men's sport coats, a 44 is a tad snug, while a 46 too baggy) I bought with the intention of wearing over another shirt, and it's still really big. (The Monkey Man jacket fits fine in XL) I WANT to like this, because the material feels nice, so I washed in hot water, dried on high heat hoping to shrink it enough that it's not way too big. I recommend this, if you get a size thats right for you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hobgoblin38 My favorite jacket
I bought this lightweight jacket to replace an identical one I'd worn out over several years of frequent use. It's the perfect weight for a cool/ slightly warm day. Comfy, stylish and well-made.

I received my Microchill the day before leaving for a 4 day paddle down the Gila River in New Mexico in Feb. I'm glad I got it in time, it worked great layered up, kept me warm and with good freedom of movement and it looked good around the campfire. What more could one want?

Rated 3 out of 5 by DebtlessTrout Not for me
I ordered a size too large, and just returned it due to the flimsy feel of the whole thing. I understand that it's supposed to be light, but the zipper felt like it would break real quick, and the fabric is so thin that it feels like it would tear by just looking at it wrong. I never got a chance to truly test it's durability, but this is just from an initial feel test. Why carry around this scrawny layer when you could just wear a regular long sleeve base and shirt to provide the same warmth, and have a mid layer on standby just in case. If you are just looking for something cheap and light, go for it, but you get what you pay for.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MedicineMac Solid Fleece!
This is a nice fleece. Typical MH quality. I do wish it were an inch longer in the back, though. I prefer the longer cut of the MH hiking shirts that tend to have an extra inch or two of fabric in the front and back, which is handy for tucking in and/or bending over, crouching, etc (IMHO). Minor criticism. I am 6' tall, 172 lbs, with a small torso (17 inch I think), and the medium fits well. Mine weighed in at 8 oz. on the nose. I love the blue color!

Rated 5 out of 5 by JamesG perfect light weight layer
I use for chilly morning in the house or going to the restaurant when you want to wear a light jacket but this works great takes off the chill with great movability. Is very light weight comfortable. love it!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Justtheaverageguy Great lightweight sweater
I found this sweater to be highly functional and comfortable. I'm 6'2" about 195 and found the x-large to run slightly big but that allows for a base layer or undershirt to fit comfortably without being snug. I think over time, washing it will shrink it and make it true to size. I am a fan of mountain hardware clothing and will likely buy another in a different color.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 7770 Great:
Fits great: I read some reviews and noticed the size description of those who got the pull over. That helped me get the right size. I am 5' 8" and 160 lbs about, and the M is perfect. Thanks!
